<p>Hey guys, I've started to look for a mirrorless system camera that I can use underwater (up to 40-50m, with a housing ofc) and also for nature photography. I'm an amateur, so it needn't be something fancy, the highest im able/willing to pay for both camera and housing would be around 700-750€. <br> What I've found so far is the Sony NEX 5n with a Case from Hydronalin (https://www.hydronalin.eu/fotografieren/unterwassergeh-use/r-systemkameras/sony-nex-5n-18-55mm-unterwassergehaeuse-40m/a-691204/) German page, but I think the important stuff passes language barriers :D</p> <p>The Canon EOS-M seems promising too, but I haven't found a cheap underwatercase, and the nautilus housing nearly eclipses my price-pool on his own.</p> <p>Now the Panasonic GF6 is a camera that seems nice, is in my price pool, including the housing from hydronalin (https://www.hydronalin.eu/fotografieren/unterwassergeh-use/r-systemkameras/panasonic-gf6-14-42mm-unterwassergehaeuse-40m/a-691215/)</p> <p>If I against most odds wasn't to decide for a system camera, but a normal digital camera, I'd go for the Canon Powershot G15 (the G16 didnt bring many improvements, and the G17 was rumored to be out in may now we have july zzz) which has the reputation to shoot awesome underwater photos. </p> <p>I could go over some others, but these 2 in general, and the EOS-M, if there is a cheaper housing, would be my favorites so far. </p> <p>It'd be nice if someone could maybe tell me his experiences with these cameras/ similar ones, especially in underwater photography I'd be really happy, as long as they are in the prize range. Tips & infos are always welcome^^</p> <p>Regards<br> to-be-amateur-photographer :)</p>
